Principal's News


Schedule
The school will be open for visits between 8am - 2pm every Monday, Wednesday & Friday. If you would like to retrieve something from the school please contact me to make an appointment. You may also return and/or check out books from the library during your appointed visit.

The school board will meet this week to discuss, among other things, the year-end calendar. Look for those results to be posted in next week's school bulletin. As far as next year's calendar, yes there have been talks, across Iowa, about beginning the year two-weeks earlier, but so far that's all they are - talks. I don't foresee a final decision being made about that until the middle of June, or later.  

 

Yearbook
Mrs. Hare will again be creating our yearbook this year. They will go on sale for $12, and ready for pick up in June. Mrs. Hare is requesting any pictures that you'd like posted in this year's edition be sent directly to her at hareh@sjs.pvt.k12.ia.us by Friday, May 15. You can pay for your yearbook(s) when you pick them up.

COVID Creativity
These students combined their music lesson with their Mystery Doug time. After watching the videos about butterflies they went outside to look for some. Then they decided to lay out a blanket and listen to the music activity. Julia drew a swan and Grayson wanted to draw a frog. Remarkably, Grayson ran to the window well to see if there was a frog in it (they often find them in there) and there was one! So he drew it and then set it free.

Julia was unable to find a real swan


Spring Fling
May 16 does not look very promising, however the Spring Fling committee is not giving up. They are currently coordinating a plan that would provide for social interaction, when permitted by the Governor. Details will be  forthcoming when the social restrictions are relaxed - hopefully in the near future. The Spring Fling committee has dedicated many hours of their time to make this a successful event, please join me in supporting them. 


Scrip 
Our scrip coordinator, Maggie McGarvey, has obtained McDonald's gift certificates. They are now available in $10 & $25 denominations. Scrip is still available at the parish office.
